Feast of Passover To BeXCelebrated By JeWsOfTheWorldl
Holiday WilTBe, Ushered In On | the Evening of/April 16th and Will Be Observed Eight Days
originallyIhad a pas- . toral significance 1
The Jewish feast of Pasfiover falls on the Idth day of Nisaii, corresponding ^His year with Sinitlay, April 17. The celebration ibcKins on the evening of April 10 with sTiiulown. The manner of ¦its observance was determined largely by the biblical ordinances concerning this feast. .It is to ibc observed for a period of seven days. Those who cherish cns- tomi, that originated .it the Bible times will keep the feast eight days.
The ceremonials are bUch as iare cal¬ culated to bring home the historical evqnt which the feast commemorates, ilamely, the new 'born freedom vouch¬ safed to Israel after the long period of oppression endured under Egyptian tyr¬ anny.
Is Enjoined '
The eating of unleavened bread is en¬ joined a number of times in the Biblical regulations touching the observance of the Passover feast. Unleavened bread is characterized as the "ibread of afflic¬ tion," and is also relerred to in the Bible as the bread that was unleavened because 'oi the enforced hasty departure from Egypt. In post^biblical times the earnest desire to keep the injunctions most scrupulously led the teachers of Israel to enact lawsi such as the use of spe¬ cial dishes that had' been guarded from contact with leaven and reserved only for the Passover season.
A charming and effective feature of the celebration of the feast is the special ^(Cantmued oti bage 4)
